852. Peak Index in a Mountain Array

Q:

Let's call an array A a mountain if the following properties hold:

  • A.length >= 3
  • There exists some 0 < i < A.length - 1 such that A[0] < A[1] < ... A[i-1] < A[i] > A[i+1] > ... > A[A.length - 1]

Given an array that is definitely a mountain, return any i such that A[0] < A[1] < ... A[i-1] < A[i] > A[i+1] > ... > A[A.length - 1].

Example 1:

Input: [0,1,0]
Output: 1

Example 2:

Input: [0,2,1,0]
Output: 1

Note:

  1. 3 <= A.length <= 10000
  2. 0 <= A[i] <= 10^6
  3. A is a mountain, as defined above.
A:
class Solution {
public:
    int peakIndexInMountainArray(vector<int>& A) {
        int res = 1;
        while(res+1<A.size() && A[res+1] > A[res]){
            res++;
        }
        return res;
    }
};
